Be original

DON'T BE PRESSURED INTO ANOTHER YOU

In today's world, society, social media, friends, family, and even strangers seem to have an opinion about who you should be, what you should do, and how you should live your life. They may sometimes pressure you so much that you become confused about yourself. In the midst of the noise, there is only one voice that matters most: your own.

The pressure to fit into a mold, to become a version of yourself that pleases others, can be overwhelming. It might start subtly, a comment about your appearance, a suggestion to pursue a career you are not passionate about, or the expectation to follow a path that does not align with your personal values. Over time, these external influences can chip away at your authenticity, making you feel inadequate and unreal.

You were never meant to be a carbon copy of someone else. Your quirks, your dreams, your flaws, and your strengths are what make you uniquely you. The world does not need another imitation; it needs an original, an authentic, and a unique you. Trying to become someone you are not is not only exhausting, it is a disservice to the person you were meant to be.

Authenticity is not always easy, it requires courage, vulnerability, and a willingness to stand alone at times. But the freedom that comes from living as your genuine self is worth every moment of discomfort. The people who truly matter will love you for who you are, not for who they want you to be. Surround yourself with those who celebrate your individuality, who encourage you to chase your dreams, and who remind you that you are enough just as you are. Don't let the pressure to conform steal your spark. Don't let fear of judgment silence your voice. Don't let the world convince you to become another version of yourself. You are not a project to be perfected or a puzzle to be solved. You are a masterpiece in progress, constantly evolving but always rooted in your truth.

To a better you, Kamikun John.
